The Jeevan engages in Kaimkaryams that pleases the Lord
and His DEvis . Singing for Him , Dancing for Him , carrying
His aabharaNams , decorating Him , worshipping Him etc etc .
Sriman NaarAyaNan is the LOrd of Sri Vaikuntam and there
are no other Gods there , who are equal or Superior to Him .
Brahma , Rudra , Indhra serve Him as His DaasAs .
> What is meant by "enjoying bliss on a par with the Lord"?
The liberated Jeevans in Sri Vaikuntam can enjoy BrahmAnandham
through their services to the Lord (Archanai , AarAdhanam , UpachAram
etc ) and vie with one another . The Lord gains aanandham by recieving
those kamkaryams( Services from the muktha Jeevans). Thus they have the same
level of joy .Whatever Bhagavaan's Iswaryam , the Jeevan is blessed to
enjoy them . Only activities that the Jeevan does not share with Its Lord
in Sri Vaikuntam is are the activities of creation , protection &
dissolution of
the Universe .That is a duty exclusive to the Lord .

It is the Supreme and ultimate Goal and hence it is called
the Parama PurushArhtam . It is eternal unlike arTam (wealth)
and not pain causing ultimately (Kaamam ) . Observances of
DharmAs and anushtAnams as directed by AchAryAs
lead to Moksham , the Parama PurushArTam (the Supreme goal
of life ) .
